Cyrtandra cyaneoides
''Cyrtandra cyaneoides'' is a rare species of flowering plant in the African violet family known by the common name mapele. It is endemic to Kauai in Hawaii, where it is known from eleven populations containing a total of under 800 individual plants. Several of these were discovered between 2003 and 2008.〔USFWS. (''Cyrtandra cyaneoides'' Five-year Review. ) August 2010.〕 It is a shrub growing 1 to 1.3 meters tall and bearing white flowers. It was federally listed as an endangered species in 1996.〔(''Cyrtandra cyaneoides''. ) The Nature Conservancy.〕
The plant grows in wet forest habitat, sometimes on cliffs or next to streams. It grows alongside other native plants such as akolea (''Boehmeria grandis''), hoio (''Diplazium sandwichianum''), ʻieʻie (''Freycinetia arborea''), ape ape (''Gunnera kauaiensis''), and several other ''Cyrtandra'' species. The understory also contains many ferns and bryophytes such as mosses and liverworts. Many of the trees host epiphytes. The habitat is also invaded by non-native plants such as Koster's curse (''Clidemia hirta''), kahili ginger (''Hedychium gardnerianum''), and Australian tree fern (''Sphaeropteris cooperi''); these weeds compete with native flora for resources.〔
The habitat is also degraded by rats, which eat the seeds of mapele.〔
